Jennings is firing on all cylinders right now. Water temps are sitting around 66°F, and steady trout stockings have kicked the entire food chain into gear. Big bass are locked in on these stockers, and anglers are taking advantage… large trout-colored swimbaits are hooking plenty of quality fish. Multiple 6–8 pound fish have come out over the past few weeks, along with several in the double digits.

Trout plants have been coming every two weeks at roughly 1,500 pounds, with the most recent load dropped on January 5. CDFW has added a few bonus plants as well. So far, about 7,000 pounds of rainbows have gone in this season, with more scheduled through April. Most trout are coming on PowerBait and floating nightcrawlers, while mini jigs and trout worms are also producing. Quail Creek in Hermit Cove has been the hottest area.

Catfish action has been excellent as well, with limits coming on shrimp, nightcrawlers, and mackerel.

Overall, Jennings is one of the hottest fisheries right now in the area.
